11 Proposed Saturday Night Live Movies That We Never Got To See

Saturday Night Live has been a beloved comedy institution for over four decades, and its influence can be seen in countless films and TV shows. In addition to launching the careers of some of the most iconic comedians of our time, SNL has also produced a number of critically-acclaimed films. The most recent of these is 2018's "A Quiet Place", which was directed by John Krasinski and starred Emily Blunt. The film earned rave reviews from critics, who praised its clever humor and inventive scares. Other notable SNL films include "Wayne's World", "Coneheads", and " Blues Brothers 2000". While each of these films has a different tone and style, they all share a commitment to laugh-out-loud comedy. So if you're looking for a good laugh, be sure to check out an SNL movie.
